De-registration Process and Label Disposal

In plain language

De-registering a drone is permanent and cannot be undone. Once de-registered, you must peel off and destroy the old label, as it cannot be reused or transferred to a new owner.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that UA de-registration is permanent and non-transferable, and the registrant must remove and destroy the de-registered label from the UA.

Original regulatory text

4.3 UA de-registration is permanent and irreversible. The registration label cannot be re-used once it has been de-registered. 4.4 The UA registration label is also non-transferrable. If the UA is sold or given to another person, the new owner of the UA will need to obtain a new registration label and complete the online registration. 4.5 Upon de-registration, the registrant should remove the de-registered label from the UA and destroy the label.
